Bahamian adventure

So me and my family are in Florida for new years at universal Orlando and the next day we have a cruise to the bahamas that leaves jacksonville. We leave our hotel and search for a Zaxbys restaurant that was supposed to be a 14 min drive from the apt. Of course we get lost but finally find it and get it to go, so we wouldn't have to worry about being late to the ship. About halfway through the drive my mom realizes that the time we were going to arrive at is the time the ship is leaving port. So my dad is driving 90 in a mini van and my mom is on the phone with the cruise and doing the math it looks like we aren't going to make it. We arrive at the port at 4pm watched the cruise ship start up the motors and the port guard tell us it's too late. 

We had missed the cruise. Wow, who does that. So we ended up driving down to miami and we all caught a flight to the bahamas to catch up with the cruise ship, which we did and were happy to finally be on the boat. Even though the cruise for us was cut down to 3 days, it was still worth it. 80 degrees everyday, volley ball, drunk moms, tan bodies and last but defiantly not least, food. Food at all hours, and all you can eat. There is much more but I am getting hungry/bored so if ya wanna know, you'll have to ask.
